HopeSS: Christ and Religious Tradition — 3 Comments

Where can we find the verse in the bible about "Easter" except in King James version in Acts 12:4. Did the diciples of Jesus observed this tradition? Neither Jesus teach them to follow this observance? Is "Isthar" comes from the word worshipping false god or queen of heaven?
Is it like "Christmas" as what we are observing since childhood? Looking forward to any insights. Indeed, a great help in my spiritual journey.

The English word, "Easter" is derived from the name of an ancient Pagan Goddess Eostre According to the Anglo Saxon Historian Bede:

“Eostur-monath has a name which is now translated Paschal month, and which was once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate that Paschal season by her name.”

Note the Anglo-Saxons converted to Christianity around the 6th century A.D. before that Christians did not call the Paschal holiday Easter.

In languages in countries with a Christian heritage other than English, they do not use the word Easter for the Christian Holiday but rather a word derived from the Hebrew word in “Pesach" the Biblical Hebrew name for Passover: These include:
